01/02/2011

Here it is the start of 2011 and it's already promising to be memorable.

2010 ended with a bang - someone drove into the back end of my car on Friday (New Years Eve) with extensive damage to my car, but thankfully nobody injured. So I start off 2011 with the first experience with an insurance claim in years, now that should be fun!@!

On a more positive note...
My mom is coming to visit this month. We've lived here for 7 years and this is 3rd time my mom has come here, first time for her to come on her own. She is 86 years old and has the sharpest wit of anyone I know. It will be fun to have her here, meeting some of my quirky friends!

I have a new job starting in March. After 4 years of doing the same gig, it was time for a change. I am really looking forward to it, especially as I get to work with some old friends and we'll be working on some really interesting projects.

Based on the combination of my mom's visit and my upcoming job (working remotely), we've just switched everything around in the house. Office moved up to 3rd floor, boy's bedroom back down to the 2nd floor. And I really like the vibes of the new office space.

It's our 10th anniversary this year for my hubby and me. As the saying goes, we've come a long way baby ... with lots of interesting years yet to come. I'm not going to divulge what I'm planning for our anniversary, but it does involve a plane!

So that's how things are shaping up so far for this year, and I haven't really put any extraordinary effort into any of it. It all just come along, I took the opportunities at face value, didn't over-analyse for once in my life, and decided to try them on for size. Some of my most favourite moments in 2010 were ones that just happened, so why not the same for this year?

And so I say hello to 2011, an arbitrary turning over of the calendar into another year. Let's have fun!
